Really?
a: Sacramento ~
b: a bad version of the bay area
What: "Sacramento is like a bad version of the bay area, worse weather, economy, crime ect but nothing good. The economy is entirely based on homebuilding, realtors, mortgages and the government and then healthcare and teachers and walmart ect. Don't look for the corporate HQs, cause they don't exist here at all, there is 0 Fortune 500 companies as compared to 29 in the bay area, and thats a good ratio to how much better the bay area is to sacramento."

b: Northern California's LA

How Time Change
a: Sacramento ~
b: Los Angeles was in the late '60s
What: "I am very bullish on Sacramento. Sacramento is like Los Angeles was in the late '60s, spread out, plenty of freeway access, 85 miles from San Francisco, 90 miles from the Sierra. It's perfectly situated, and I like what's happening here. I think it will continue to grow and become a truly major city." An article from 2006.
